When you think about the scale of the human genome, WGS is quite frankly cheap, and an amazing testament to the ingenuity of biomed scientists, and to the rapid advancement of technology.

There are approximately 3 billion base pairs per genome and sequencing now costs around 1000$ dollars, so each base pair costs peanuts. I am grateful to be alive now, to see such rapid advancements in medicine and biotech and to be able to take advantage of sequencing technologies.
